Tells the story of the greatest natural disaster of the ancient world, an event that experts believe inspired the legend of Atlantis. Around 1620 BC a gigantic volcano in the Aegean Sea stirred from its 19,000-year slumber.The eruption tore the island of Thera apart, producing massive tsunamis that flooded the nearby island of Crete, the centre of Europe’s first great civilisation the Minoans.This apocalyptic event, many experts now believe, provided the inspiration for the legend of Atlantis.

Based on the work of leading scientists, archaeologists and historians, this drama immerses viewers in the exotic world of the Minoans.
